Faithsedge – The Answer Of Insanity (2014) [EXCLUSIVE] The second album “The Answer of Insanity” by Italo/American supergroup/project built around veterans of Melodic Rock scene under the
FAITHSEDGE moniker, is a surprisingly energetic slice of Hard Rock both modern and traditional. It is a strong step forward, their first self
titled album in 2011 was a good, but quite regular piece of music
influenced by the sound of the 80’. It was executed flawlessly, but
nothing was groundbreaking or earthshaking in the end!In early September, their sophomore album will be unleashed in the streets and you should be warned, because while keeping their obvious
sense of the melodic hook and their original style (
“Revolve My World” &
”Until Your Home”),
FAITHSEDGE is showing a new ferocious side, with an harder & heavier approach,
with some sharpened guitar riffs and a much fighting spirit than their
debut CD. A new aggressive tendency which is a real surprise and a spray
of fresh air.The production handled by Bassist
Fabrizio Grossi (ex-
STARBREAKER / ex-
ALICE COOPER /
LESLIE WEST), is better than ever, giving an extra sonic space for the famous axe hero
Alex DeRosso (ex
DOKKEN / ex
PERFECT WORLD /
SHADOW FADE) and his tasteful chops. But most of all a new enlightenment on the skilled Lead Singer/Mastermind
Giancarlo Floridia, his superb vocal performance is the revelation of the whole disc, with a great range and a style right between
Michael Eden (
exEDEN’S CURSE) and
C.J.Snare (
FIREHOUSE /
RUBICON CROSS) .This perfect balance and this characteristic tone with a huge live feel is also a fine way to appreciate the fullness of the tight rythmic
duo, a solid core with some impressive interaction (
“The Way I Have To Let You Go”) and a few amazing fills between the fat vintage booming bass and the hard hitting skin & sticks (
“Comes Crashing Down”) courtesy of their versatile drummer : l’imponente
Tony Morra (ex
VAN ZANT).Once again the songwriting task is not neglected (
“Pray For This”), but the new focus and the direct/kick-ass method is helping the whole disc to reach a new level of power in tracks such as
“Destroy You”!My first impression was reinforced by many spins to conclude to the fact that the new Opus by
FAITHSEDGE is providing an unexpected perspective. Definitely a must have for the
fans of dynamic Hard Rock with a real cutting edge and tons of melodic
gimmicks, performed by a skilled bunch of musicians at the top of their
respective game!
